Craftsman hand planer   I had to do some serious cleaning on this one. The sides were completely rusted and the blade assembly was stuck in place. Finally got the blade assembly loose but the only option for the body was sandblasting and repainting. You see the pits on the side still but it is what it is. You can see the original silverish-blueish-tealish color in the second picture but the odds of matching that color with my skills and budget (zero and zero) meant I went with basic black. I polished the bottom and the blade assembly on the buffer at work. |

Turned an old saw into another tool  Sweet! How do you plan to secure the blade to the handle? |

Did you beat that blade out with a chisel?

That's not cheating, that's working smarter.  |

My belated Father's Day present. The oldest boy built it (he has a nice woodworking area in his garage) and we finished it up while we were there for a visit last week.   Your oldest boy has SKILLS!! Very nice. |

Thanks, it is stout! This is the third one he's made. The first was his for his projects, the second he made for his Dad and this one is mine. He said he's learned how to do things a little differently/better each time. He said he doesn't watch TV anymore, it's all research on youtube for his woodworking and prepping stuff. He didn't want to use any mechanical fasteners other than the screws for the casters and we had worked out a plan for the top but I was concerned I'd have to remove the top to load it in the truck so we screwed it in place. Turned out for the best, we ran out of time to attach the top any other way. We were applying Danish oil at 2200 the night before we left...  I'm thinking about getting him this: www.amazon.com/dp/B072KT1PFP/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3GGF67MOFN7VD&colid=2H4OKKGN7A0H1 |

I use this to hold my watch when I change the date. Trying to keep this alive, there's gotta be tools out there  |
